Minardo now works part-time for Genesee Justice: 19.5 hours per week, with no benefits, as a supervisor for Leandra’s Law DWI felons.

Genesee County Sheriff Gary Maha says even in the part-time role, Minardo is a valuable employee to have.

"Ed, of course, is familiar with the programs, and with the DWI program," the sheriff tells WBTA. "He's already had his background investigation completed, he's already been fingerprinted...it just makes sense that if he was was interested, we'd hire him.

"It's a win-win situation for us."

The Sheriff says Minardo has been instructed that he is not an administrator; the program’s assistant director continues to “run the show.”
